2 BY ORDER OF THE COMMANDER US AIR FORCES IN EUROPE (USAFE) USAFE INSTRUCTION NOVEMBER 2002 Certified Current on 3 February 2014 Civil Engineering MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT FOR PROTECTIVE AIRCRAFT SHELTER (PAS) AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT COMPLIANCE WITH THIS PUBLICATION IS MANDATORY NOTICE: This publication is available digitally on the AFDPO WWW site at: OPR: USAFE CE/CECE (MSgt Jeffrey A. Keeling) Certified by: USAFE/CEC (Mr. Bassim D. Shebaro) Supersedes USAFEI , 3 June Pages: 12 Distribution: F This instruction implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 32-10, Installations and Facilities. It establishes United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) policy, procedures, and responsibilities for aircraft shelters and the associated equipment assignment, operation, repair, and maintenance. It applies to all shelters at main operating bases (MOB), collocated operating bases (COB), and forward operating locations (FOL) within USAFE area of responsibility (AOR). Use AF Manual (AFMAN) , Explosives Safety Standards, and USAFEI , USAFE Aircraft and Equipment Maintenance Management, as references for safety and aircraft use of protective aircraft shelters (PAS). Maintain and dispose of records created as a result of prescribed processes in accordance with AFMAN , Records Disposition Schedule (will become AFMAN Vol. 4). This instruction does not apply to US Air Force Reserve or Air National Guard. SUMMARY OF REVISIONS This revision changes the format to comply with most recent publications policy, and replaces all references to HQ USAFE/CEO, Operations Division to HQ USAFE/CEC, Engineering Division. 1. General. PAS are protective, dispersed facilities provided to enhance aircraft and associated equipment ground survivability. Units must maintain shelters and the associated equipment in constant readiness for assigned or augmentation aircraft. 2. Definitions: 2.1. MOB. A base with essential buildings and facilities provided for total organization and intermediate maintenance capability existing for assigned weapon systems. The intermediate maintenance capabilities may be expanded to support specific weapon systems deployed to the MOB.

3 2 USAFEI NOVEMBER COB. An allied base designated for joint or unilateral use for US wartime relocation of in-place US forces FOL. An airfield sanctioned by the host nation government and USAFE. Both the host nation and USAFE agree to the basing and support of limited USAFE aircraft Operational PAS. Shelters providing protective parking for tactical aircraft and accommodating organizational maintenance functions, with the capability of running aircraft engines and storing munitions supporting aircraft sorties Maintenance PAS. Shelters protecting aircraft and accommodating organizational or limited intermediate-level maintenance functions for both munitions and aircraft, without the capability of running aircraft engines in the shelter North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) PAS. Shelters funded through NATO security investment program US PAS. Shelters exceeding NATO funding criteria, and are not eligible for NATO Security Investment Program funding. They are not included in the NATO joint final acceptance inspection. 3. Policy: 3.1. Current USAFE policy affirms sheltering 100 percent of wartime primary authorized aircraft (PAA) at MOBs and 70 percent at COBs and FOLs. PAS facility managers are assigned the same way as other real property facilities at MOBs, COBs, munitions storage site (MUNSS), and FOLs. AFI , Real Property Accountability and Reporting, gives accounting instructions The base civil engineer (BCE) performs repairs, PAS modification maintenance in the same manner as other types of real property, real property installed equipment (RPIE), and real property similar equipment (RPSE) for all US-funded PAS. Do not accomplish permanent modifications without Civil Engineer, Engineering Division (HQ USAFE/CEC) approval. Coordinate modification requests with Programs Division (HQ USAFE/CEP), Directorate of Operations (HQ USAFE/DOT), Maintenance Division (HQ USAFE/LGM), and Mission System Division (HQ USAFE/SCN) prior to modification request approval. Temporary (not to exceed 12 months) modification request require only BCE approval with an info copy to HQ USAFE/CEC. However, coordinate any modification, temporary or permanent, to a PAS containing a Weapon Storage Security System (WS3) vault, through Weapons Maintenance Division (HQ USAFE/LGW). Ensure no work in WS3 equipped PAS involves structural contact with any part of the WS3 system. This includes drilling, wiring, or attachment of any item that is not part of the original equipment. Any work that will impact or contact the WS3 must be approved through HQ USAFE/LGW. Account, record, and report all operational PAS in the real property accountable records and inventory reports under category code Assign maintenance TAB-V PAS 211-XXX series category code The only use for US-funded PAS, other than to shelter aircraft, is to temporarily accommodate peak warehousing and storage of war reserve material (WRM) or a function directly associated with assigned and augmented aircraft. Installed facility subsystems (doors, winches, exhaust ports, etc.) must remain in place and fully operational if the PAS are used for other than aircraft operations or storage. The base facilities board, appropriate major NATO command (e.g., Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), and the NATO International Staff must approve the use of NATO shelters for any purpose other than aircraft protection or WRM storage. Other uses must not detract from the PAS use or availability to shelter parked aircraft.

4 USAFEI NOVEMBER Close all doors and turn off lights when PAS is not in use. The PAS user may waive this requirement when necessary to meet mission operational requirements. If the mission calls for this requirement to be waived in excess of 24 hours, a written waiver from the assigned unit shall be issued and kept on file until the waiver has expired If any modification work is performed in conjunction with the temporary use, the user must provide the MOB BCE a removal plan to describe PAS restoration to ready status within 48 hours Facility subsystems will remain in serviceable condition and maintenance will be performed as if the PAS was in ready condition Protect all mechanical and electrical system components from foreign object damage (FOD) When munitions are stored within the PAS, requirements for explosive siting and operations shall be in accordance with AFMAN and AFMAN USAFESUP 1. A license is required in the United Kingdom (UK) The MOB BCE: Assigns in writing, a single point of contact (POC), who maintains all US PAS and all related components Develops and ensures MOBs, COBs, and FOLs use PAS maintenance action sheets (AF Form 1841, Maintenance Action Sheet (MAS), approved for electronic form (EF) in Interim Work Information Management System (IWIMS) covering recurring maintenance actions and inspections. The MAS will include all mechanical, electrical, and structural components. Each MOB develops a MAS for the assigned PAS Gives the highest possible priority to repair and maintain work spares for RPIE and RPSE required to return a PAS from partial ready to ready Coordinates with the PAS manager before civilian contractor personnel are allowed to work in or around a PAS Ensures each winch system is inspected, tested, and maintained according to AFOSHSTD 91-46, chapters 5 and Performs layout, paints all striping specified in USAFEI , and maintains all striping and marking inside and outside PAS Power Production shop will provide training to PAS users according to EUCOM Directive (ED) 60-12, and AFI The BCE ensures the emergency door opening kit is available to the MOB, COB, and FOL PAS user to manually open aircraft entry doors when the electrically powered door drive system is inoperable. During peacetime, keep emergency door openings to a minimum and open only in the presence of a MOB BCE representative. All emergency opening kit component parts must sustain a 6-ton pull. The BCE in conjunction with the Operations Group will determine the minimum number of kits that will be maintained The emergency door opening kit for the second- and third-generation shelters consists of the following items: Snatch block incorporating hook with a spring loaded safety-latch and a pulley.

5 4 USAFEI NOVEMBER Minimum one-inch in diameter steel rod Minimum 5/8 inches in diameter by 140 feet long wire rope configured with fittings at each end (Procedures do not apply to PAS having a chain drive system.) Open and close PAS equipped with a chain drive system using a hand or motorized crank fitted to the end of the drive motor exposed shaft Ensure each emergency door opening kit is inspected, tested, and maintained according to AFOSHSTD 91-46, Chapter Use the following opening and closing procedures for modified TAB-Vs and second- and third-generation PAS used to house alert aircraft emergency: Closing Disengage the door motor brake Close aircraft entry door by pushing door with a vehicle capable of 6-ton push. After the door is closed, engage the brake Pin the exhaust doors and padlock the personnel entrance door Opening Disengage the door motor brake Connect the door opening kit to the door with the disengaged brake and a vehicle capable of opening the door If electrical power or portable generator is available, open the doors electronically (with the brake disengaged) If the power is not available, pull the door to the full open position. When the door is open, engage the brake Lock the emergency generator room door at all times and develop local procedures to allow access for PAS users and maintenance personnel. Do not operate emergency generators except when: In alert status There is a scheduled power outage Testing components require power or when performing generator operation. 4. Maintenance Responsibilities for All US-Funded PAS: 4.1. The MOB BCE: Assigns a real property facility number, which must be painted on the PAS.
